When the emperor said these words, he was calm and angry behind him. Even senior army officials who didn’t understand the sea situation could smell that the army officers were gloating and worried.
The navy has performed really well since the war. A series of J Ο ng naval battles not only dealt a heavy blow to the allied countries’ navy, but also slowed down the British blood transfusion to France, making the Mediterranean situation fall to the allies, and the Baltic sea area contained a large number of Russian emperors’ naval alienation, and the ongoing war brought about an uncontrollable shadow.
The emperor ridiculed the silence of the navy, which did not alleviate the emperor’s depression. After reviewing the army officers, King hohenzollern squeezed into the backward naval officer camp
"In 1997, my grandmother Queen Elizabeth was enthroned on the 6th anniversary of her accession to the throne. My German navy and I were so depressed that we could only send an old King William cruiser. This was also ridiculed by some vitriolic guys. In 19 years, the first naval expansion bill was issued, but the British did everything possible to suppress our legitimate demands for the ocean." William tightened his right hand and white Se’s hand was soothing but unconcerned. "I received a report from the Berlin newspaper Charlottenburg Palace that our fleet was attacking the Times. I remembered 197 again.
"positions maybe …" general Heeringen face dew difficult se stammered.
The first reconnaissance fleet is attacking the Thames, and the ocean fleet is also rushing to the Thames, but the navy knows that the Thames is not the end of the ocean fleet’s journey.
(Gorgeous dividing line)
"Command the British raid fleet out of contact to the main ocean fleet; The destroyer detachment of the first and second reconnaissance fleets gathered up the formation target Portsmouth and moved forward quickly! "
Wang Haidi started the huge war at full speed to be continued.
The second gun chapter echoed Portsmouth horn (3)
The roar of the Thames has just sounded, and the English Channel, which is known as the lifeline of the Anglo-French Sea, is now silent.
In the state of war, the English Channel has always been the lair of the Allies. Here, the age is old but the strength is still old-fashioned battleships, old-fashioned armored cruisers and the latest destroyers. In addition to the boat channel near the French coastline, the narrow waterway patrolled by the British side was completely blocked by mines; Ships that want to enter and leave the ocean here must be escorted by Dover Fleet to stop at Downs Bay for inspection.
In April, 1915, the sun was shining brightly, countless minefields and a large number of destroyers with extremely high speed hit their heads. German light ships accidentally found that the English Channel was tightly defended in Ri, and it was like a paper tiger that could easily pierce it.
A mixed formation consisting of sixteen modified minesweepers, three destroyers and three medium-sized support vessels can easily reach the front of Dover Strait if entering the human territory.
"Welcome to the Sea of Death!"
The temporary commander of the mixed formation used to be the lieutenant captain of the U37 submarine, and the commander of the first destroyer detachment, Major Thomas Mann, led the ship, and the front deck of the minesweeper No.236 was facing the sea that was not very open but unusually quiet, and stepped on the low deck waves and spread his hand to him. "
The British neglected to guard against the English Channel. The crew of the No.236 body was expected, but the iron tenderness revealed by Major Thomas Mann, who believed in iron blood in memory, surprised the sailors.
Churchill recklessly launched the Battle of the Daniil Strait with all his eggs in one basket. Most of the Straits Fleet can barely drive the old battleships and newer armored cruisers away. These warships have not yet returned to the battle sequence of the Straits Fleet. In April, the change of the ocean fleet made Britain on the strategic defensive, so the main force of the Dover patrol fleet, 12 tribal destroyers, was transferred to the Thames, and four patrol aircraft were transferred to London to find the main force of the ocean fleet in the middle of the North Sea. Now there are only a few ships left in the English Channel, and the speed of the royal class is slower than that of the dreaded ship.
This should be the best news. The beautiful news is breathtaking. There is no M-flag sā disturbance in the English Channel, and there is no sea fog to suppress it. Major Thomas Mann’s mouth is relaxed and playful, but there is a layer of gray moisture in his eyes.
"this is a minefield running through the Dover Strait, but there is nothing to be afraid of!" Major Thomas Mann didn’t try too hard not to let his subordinates notice. Two lines of tears slipped quietly across his cheeks. "Even if I close my eyes, I can get out of this paper-bound defense line. Since the war, our submarine force has been looking for the weakness of the minefield, crossing the British defense line and attacking the blood transfusion line between Britain and France."
Lift the gun clothes early, the destroyers are scattered, and the mm and 45 mm naval guns point to the sky. The minesweeper covers three support ships. The crane lifts the lightning protection floating bucket bracket on the two wings and the bow of the minesweeper. After more than 20 minutes, the first wave of 12 minesweepers has been installed, and the formation in the front safety area of the minefield has been arranged.
"We lost 12 submarines here, including my U37 killed submarine officers and soldiers, 133 missing and 11 missing, and I was the only lucky one of U37."
When twelve refitted minesweepers are busy adjusting their direction, the major’s soothing and painful narration always makes people feel sour and sad.
The cruelty of war can never be replaced by a few cold numbers. After sincere friendship and affection come to an abrupt end, the individual is a nation, and the soul world will be distorted with numbness and suppress emotions. After wine brewing, it will rise to a nation, another nation, another country, and another country. I can’t finish my hard work.
At the beginning of the European War, the soldiers of the Allies and Allies may still have strong patriotism, but with the increase of casualties, the two camps, from high politicians to the soldiers at the highest level, have forgotten the cause of the war. Hatred has replaced all killings as a habit, and immortality is the only ending!
Major Thomas Mann, who formed a tight formation in front of the minefield, looked up at the blue Se Tianli and roared, "Thomas Mann is back to avenge the rabbits!"
(Gorgeous dividing line)
12: 23 Beihai
The four capital ships of the first reconnaissance fleet in Sunan, North Sea, are arranged in a short battle line, and the four light cruisers and destroyers of the second reconnaissance fleet are scattered on both sides to form a vault posture.
Tens of thousands of tons of capital ships are surging at the marginal edge of tiny waves, and the tiny waves will be shattered just by swinging the hull slightly. When the top of the main mast sails against the wind, the navy’s iron cross seahawk flag rattles out of the officer’s dining room, and Wang Haidi walks slowly along the flying bridge leading to the commander tower with a cup of bitter coffee.
"Lieutenant General, I wonder if we soldiers who make killings can get real peace if this protracted European war is over …"
"Quiet?" Wang Haidi bowed his head and took a sip of coffee lightly. "If Germany wins, it can be exchanged for Auden and Raouf, and I can be exchanged for Helgolan, Dogel and Ri Delan!"
"It seems that I’m too melodramatic …" The Secretary of the Navy, Rheinhardscher, touched his white hair, smiled faintly at himself and then shook his head at Wang Haidi deeply. He seemed to want to get rid of his troubles after many years, and he also valued Heidi Selim without any trace. "A dying old man is quiet or uneasy, and how much time can it occupy me?" ！”
Wang Haidi can somewhat understand Marshal Schell’s anxiety.
A few minutes ago, the Navy General Staff sent a newspaper in a flashing word. In the newspaper, the Minister of the Navy Cabinet vaguely felt that even though the emperor William was furious, he was still very graceful to forgive the navy for acting without authorization, but he asked the navy to take a ruthless stand against the British.
Just as Major General erich Lei Deer, deputy chief of staff of the navy, complained in his supplementary newspaper that the emperor was always extremely sensitive and his amazing imagination interfered with rigorous military operations, but he didn’t consider it at all. When the Luzov received the emperor’s newspaper, āìng Haidi almost submitted it to the filing cabinet in the dark.
Zheng Shengli Road sturm und drang Navy Riyi wants to collect the emperor’s cracks, and the emperor would rather give up his victory than prevent Wang Haidi, a young naval general, from gaining glory again.
Marshal Schell’s persuasion has been very obvious. Although Wang Haidi’s first naval young faction won the wind because of a series of sea victories in this confrontation, the war will eventually end. What will Gao Zhen’s main Wang Haidi take to protect himself?
Wang Haidi took a grateful look at Marshal Schell, but he couldn’t guarantee anything. The young man was not ignorant or paranoid, but he was an out-and-out traveler. He clearly knew how difficult it was for Germany to achieve this situation. Scarpa Bay Rainbow Versailles was a fiasco, Weimar Republic and economic crisis, beer can riots and heads of state were even more tragic. In the second world war, Wang Haidi dared not and could not retreat. He was not allowed to just see the dawn and Germany slipped into the abyss.
"Marshal, who can say for sure what will happen in the future …" Wang Haidi held the gangway leading to the commander’s tower, which was somewhat vacant but also somewhat violent and replied.
The secretary of the navy no longer bothered about this question. He changed the subject and asked casually, "What’s the next move?"
